Patent GB-191116374-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Traction Electro-magnets.
Inventor: LAKE HAROLD WILLIAMSON
IPC: H01F7/12
Filed: 1911-07-15
Granted: 1912-07-15
Abstract: 16,374. Lake, H. W., [Lindquist, D. L.]. July 15. Electro-magnets. - Relates to alternating- current electro-magnets having secondary coils or conductors in which currents of different phase are induced from the primary coils, and the invention consists in proportioning the ohmic resistance of the secondary conductors in accordance with the frequency of the supply current, so that the armature is held without chattering and with a selected (preferably minimum) current consumption. An electro-magnet is first constructed for a predetermined minimum tractive force, and the ohmic resistance of the secondary conductors is then varied until chattering stops. From this initial magnet, other magnets which are required to operate on circuits of different frequency are constructed by choosing or adjusting the ohmic resistances of the secondary conductors in the direct ratio of the frequencies. One construction of magnet for use with an electric brake is shown in Figs. 1 and 3. Two movable cores or armatures 9, 10 are arranged within the primary coil 11; each core is composed of sets of laminµ, some of which are enclosed in sleeves 14, 15 of German silver &c. forming the secondary conductors. The minimum tractive force may be governed by constructing the armatures so as to produce an air-gap 17, Fig. 7, between the cores in the attracted position; the dimensions of the air-gap may be varied. In a modification, Fig. 8, a single secondary conductor 18 is inserted in the end of each core, and the faces are made convex so that the cores are free to rock and adjust themselves in the magnetic field. One core only may be movable, and the secondary conductor may be placed either on the fixed or movable core. A condenser may be interposed in the secondary circuit as well as the ohmic resistance.

Abstract: 10,446. Imray, O., [Farbwerke vorm. Meister, Lucius, & Br³ning]. May 2. Anthracene, dyes derived from.-Vat dyes are obtained by condensing anthranol or a derivative thereof with quinone or a halogen derivative thereof. Products are specified from anthranol, alpha- and #-chloranthranol, #-methylanthranol, chlornaphthanthranol, dianthranol, and the anthranol from #-#-dianthraquinonylurea, and quinone, in presence of nitrobenzene, and from anthranol or #-aminoanthranol and chloranil, in presence of xylene or of nitrobenzene, different products being obtained by the use of these two media. When chloranil is used, sodium acetate, or catalysts such as copper chloride, may be used. The products specified above yield blue, grey, green, or brown tints from a vat. Other dyes, generally of greener tints, are obtained by halogenizing the dyes described above. According to examples, the product from anthranol and quinone is treated with bromine in presence of nitrobenzene or carbon tetrachloride, or with sulphuryl chloride in nitrobenzene ; chlorine or liquid bromine are also specified as halogenizing-agents. Chlornaphthanthranol is obtained by condensing alpha-chlornaphthalene with phthalic anhydride by means of aluminium chloride, condensing the resulting alpha-chlornaphthoylbenzoic acid to alpha-chlornaphthanthraquinone, and reducing this by means of tin and hydrochloric acid. Anthranol from #-#-dianthraquinonylurea is obtained by reducing the urea similarly.

Title: Improvements in Effecting the Automatic Interruption of the Current in Single Electric Conductors upon a Short Circuit or Serious Leakage Occuring.
IPC: H02H7/26
Filed: 1913-11-27
Abstract: 27,347. Felten & Guilleaume Carlswork Akt.-Ges. Nov. 27,1912, [Convention date]. Void [Published under Sect. 91 of the Act]. Protective systems.-Relates to arrangements of the kind which protect against faults and depend on unbalancing between parallel conductors. According to the invention, balance is obtained between parallel parts of a single conductor. Resistances are inserted of such value that unbalancing will take place if the parts fuse together. The invention is described in application to a three-phase three-core cable. Each core consists of an inner part L<1> and an outer part L<2> mutually insulated along the cable. A balanced relay R<1> normally rests in a neutral position under opposed magnetic pulls due to the respective currents flowing in the outer and inner core-parts. The relay moves to complete a local circuit to the trip coil of a circuit-breaker A' when the balance is upset by a leak affecting either core-part. A similar arrangement is provided at the other end of the protected cable. In order to provide protection for the case of a fault fusing the inner and outer parts together inside the cable, resistances W, W<2>, W<3> are inserted, of such values that the redistribution of currents arising from contact of the two parts is sufficient to upset the balance of the relay. For singlecore cables, the core may be subdivided into three instead of two parts. Specification 11,979/08 is referred to.
